Out of all the UDFA signings for the #Chiefs these 5 have the best shot making the 53 man roster IMO.

TE – Blake Mack
QB – Chase Litton
CB – D'Montre Wade
RB – Darrell Williams— KC*Norris (@KingdomConnektN) April 29, 2018
o Byron Pringle – WR – Kansas State – 6’1″- 205

Chiefs sign former @KStateFB and @ButlerGrizzlyFB WR Byron Pringle as a UFA. Very smart signing and I hope he stays through the summer!#chiefskingdom #emaw #KStateFBhttps://t.co/KuEN1Bmzwv pic.twitter.com/qxxGaZm0kd
